I've seen pppd questions on this list before so I'm hoping this is relevant enough. If not, please inform me in private e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I am having a problem where I am ALWAYS getting dropped after the first time I connect to the Ascend router at work via a USR modem on my Linux box. I almost always stay connected the second time. I thought it might be an INIT string issue as /var/log/messages simply said connection terminated. But have something else going on that I wanted an answer for and I wondered if it was related: When I watch the processes list as it connects I see the ifup-ppp process always goes defunct each time it dials. Is this normal? [ps -ef|grep ppp output modified for e-mail - all processes belong to root] 612 611 0 21:22 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/ppp-watch ifcfg-ppp0 632 612 0 21:22 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/ppp-watch ifcfg-ppp0 683 632 1 21:23 ttyS1 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pppd -detach lock mode 689 683 0 21:23 ? 00:00:00 [ifup-ppp <defunct>] The problem with this theory is, that the defunct process is present on each connect, and disappears only when pppd is started which is usually the second successful connect. Thank you.
